Time Imagery,Introversion and Fantasied Preoccupation in Simulated Isolation

Abstract

The propensity to view time in passive-oceanic images is shown to be positively correlated with introversive tendencies as manifest on the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and with preoccupation with moral and rational discipline under conditions of extreme hypothetical personal isolation. The existence of this three-fold syndrome is seen as related to the character and orientation of the ego structure, manifesting itself in three separate but highly correlated ways.
